we need a change. in this race change means a vote for opposition leader in the us a forty year old lawyer who unlike chavez enjoyed a privileged upbringing. the son of a wealthy family that controls a media conglomerate and a chain of movie theaters has gained supporters by promising to combat crime unemployment and corruption but opponents have charged a previous is deliberately hiding his real economic goals the candidates are. going to be worked out very chavez's demand if you come from this kind of. works right. change that and the other candidate and repeat your feelings is a man of the wealthy or the leader of the oligarchs who would implement privatization only. stare at the it's a choice between two radically different worldviews a referendum on venezuela's socialist experiment.

come this hour pre-election excitement. but of all of it you know i mean it's almost like it's more than twenty four hours a day coverage on everything on the eve of the u.s. presidential elections we ask the people in america how they really feel about the phrase white house is just that after a short break. a sacred place rising out of the waters of the lake the long ministry is home to one hundred fifty orthodox monks mostly younger than thirty five and they've come from many different places and backgrounds to live in isolation here spiritual life it takes so many hours on the road to becoming

a monk requires both hard work and religious to the cation. bank savings to become and has cattle as part of this preparation. however these beasts get a musical company. they can remember sound sequences you know they want to the sound signals the fruits the herders had in the old days they needed them it wasn't just fun but these meadows didn't come naturally requiring decades of composting to bring the soil up to farming standard this island is mostly rock. the soil here is very thin on the monks can't just get more of it because they're surrounded by the lake so they have to work very hard in order to provide whatever food they need. they grow their own crops found their own fish and repair their own churches . but the central purpose of the lawn has always been religious the main ministry surrounded by smaller priories spread through the many archipelago the monks here

know their existence is a little different from that of other ministries here we do way and we do have. creams and song times tourists as well but only. tranquility use. the. combination of high religion and down to earth hard work than motivates these men. more news today violence has once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporations to rule the day.

well. technology innovation all the developments from around russia we've got the future are covered. welcome back and watching our t.v. with myriad joshie drinking dog walking even feeding the birds all of timothy is now considered criminal in hundreds of london's parks the move has been slammed by

civil liberties groups as an attack on personal freedoms while the government insists the ban is in place to tackle anti-social behavior artists are for of has more. here in this park in london if your found drinking alcohol or throwing a ball or even feeding the pigeons you could inadvertently be committing a criminal or civil offense surprise will serve a lot of people we're joined now by j.c. appleton the creator of the google maps banned in london which sets out the people these zones in london where you could commit an offense this century for these activities that most people would have she actually pretty looted say can you tell us more about what sort of things people should be looking out exactly and i think all these activities are things people consider to be quite ordinary so handing out leaflets having a drink in the park with your friends walking your dog we realize that over the past few years you've seen the growth of zones where quite ordinary activities are

prohibited the banned in london map shows a whopping four hundred thirty five of these predication zones aimed at tackling and she say she behavior the might of been a good policy idea in theory has local people say and it up a very bad policy in practice meaning hardline crackdowns on the soft this of misdemeanors disconcertingly many bars in london have now hired private contractors to carry out the enforcement of these fines phil morris knows all about the after his local council hired its full services he received an eighty pound penalty for jumping a cigarette butt and that he maintains he didn't know it was illegal he refused to pay two for weeks later. for. just two x. for the private security and surveillance of the missing providers a so called in full cement offices in the u.k.

contracted by some local councils first off the kitted out with cameras and uniforms but their tactics of pursuing these fines often seem far from professional was. don't get lost sleep with mine. people we asked those local council for their response they told r.t. these new offices back up our support for the public who fed up with the actions of the minority. and who in their dog fouls cigarette butts are litter or not get paid unless the issue of fine appropriately. only get paid if they find someone to fine a fact confirmed by a glance at their website which just shows local councils that their service is risk free and they won't charge and less the penalties and surprising then that the areas where x. will have been hired has seen

a massive increase in the number of fines that a receipt and there's now concern over whether that is fair or ethical and about the accountability and transparency i recently dealt in the home affairs select committee which looks at these issues with a case of the law on the bar of new and which has law enforcement officers who are in fact council officials but dress up like police have been promised to make which is going to look into it because it's it's actually i think a criminal activity to pretend to be a police officer when you're not and i'm very concerned about how about that trend is going i think in the past it would be assumes that people knew the law that it was reasonable and so long as you weren't creating a problem then you could do what you like but increasingly it seems that that is no longer the case these findings may be surprising for sun but the truth is these types of laws and offenses are being creeping up on us the some time now they're actually growing in number so also the moment you can enjoy the parks in london whatever you do you do not feed them in. london and the us

presidential race barack obama is being sued by a chinese owned company which he blocked from buying a wind farm in america chinese investors claim a bomber issued the order without any explanation and comes as the white house faces more pressure from the republicans to toughen up on beijing and some observers say obama simply trying to u.s. voters. the timing is somewhat suspicious just because the two presidential candidates. to to outdo each other in demonizing china in this whole presidential campaign whichever candidate wins whether it's president obama governor romney both wall and then have to do some. repairs for for all the damage that has been incurred and rendered unnecessarily so i think i think the american people understand the u.s.

general asians far better than the candidates seem to think they understand and somehow they feel that putting this needed cast on china is going to gain them both and i don't believe that they're right as the world weighs the possible outcomes of november as u.s. presidential ballot our resident laurie hardness took to the streets of new york to find out what voters make of the race so far. the two thousand and twelve presidential elections why are they so boring this week let's talk about that. so tired of all of it you know i mean it's almost like it's more than twenty four hours of coverage on everything you know no matter what happens and nothing happened exactly having said that i think obama's going to win do you think he believes in himself as much as he did four years ago because he seems kind of tired he seems like he's a little frustrated i think he's more tired of mitt romney and just all of this

like he just wants to get it over to november and just like ok give me you know my polls and let me when he says bored with the elections as we are very much president obama is going to the first african-american president that was so exciting no it's boring me again i don't know if there's going to be as much of a turnout for voters this year are you going to vote absolutely we're talking about the election you know. i'm not american you guys don't let me now yeah you know we don't let a lot of americans vote to you apparently why do you want to run don't you think either candidate can get it done i think there's too much corruption in the government i mean this should be important right. ship but how can it be a problem with money to process. and there's no really a choice right as one of the other and if by a really good option then what you did and the bush kerry kerry yeah i was just like i like which one do i like the least ok i'll use the other

a vote of the other one yeah yeah so it's kind of the same thing as two thousand and four that maybe it's just like one of those here the new times a new age you need to support the people of your country is very important so is that what there is that what's missing this year neither of them are really speaking to the people yes forty seven percent that came from romney and now the thirty percent thing that came from ryan and. a lot of presidents telling us that they don't care about it right at this point a month away from elections i feel like they just wants to be to get it over with and they just want to hear more details and plans get it over with and get on with it and do something very good they do things up on the it does work. yet they're the smart ones with all the millions of dollars do you think they get put on a better show right. whether or not you think this election is boring the bottom line is we only have about a month until it's finally over and we can all gladly move on.
